The impact on Burbage Common would be horrendous The area is home to many species of animals including deer and is an extremely valuable relaxation/ recreational area . When my daughter was young she used to ride her horse over there and I have also used it for walking my dogs for over50 years As an elderly widow and pensioner it is an area where one still feels safe .It’s an area of natural beauty and they are becoming more and more scarce Also with costs on everything continuing to rise it is an essential free space which is used by both the older generation and young families all year round . The impact on the local community, particularly Sapcote , would be devastating because of the constant noise (including the noise from the M69 )would be detrimental both to people and animals on agricultural land adjacent to the proposed site )
